Serger Class

Last night I took a serger class at the LQS. It was a 3 hour class that went really fast. I have a Huskylock 936 and had only used it once since I bought it 3 or 4 years ago. Unfortunately we didn't cover everything that I had hoped to. The instructor recommended taking a couple of other "serger retreat" classes to help learn all the different stitches the machine will do. At least I got the basics down include inside & outside corners and the rolled hem.

Yesterday two of the kids got in a fight over a beef bone. It was a pretty vicious fight and the little one got hurt. She received a bite in her throat and the bleeding didn't want to stop. I had to take her to the vet to make sure she didn't need stitches. The vet said her jugular probably got knicked and that is why the bleeding didn't want to stop. He decided that she didn't need stitches, so that was good. She got it bleeding again tonight right before I got home from work. Of course it was difficult to get the bleeding to stop again. This time I'm not taking the bandages off for 48 hours instead of 24 like the vet suggested. It kind of scary watching blood run down your kids neck.

We have more snow headed our way. It is suppose to start with rain and change to snow over night. I have heard a couple of different amounts from 1" up to 3". It could be an interesting ride to work in the morning. Well, it's Michigan and that is what our weather is all about. 60 degrees one day and snow the next. I'm ready for summer to be here.
